EPRA CEO Pavel Oimeke has been linked to illegal gas refilling cartels, cnyakundi.com can confirm.
A few years ago, a disturbed Kenyan sent Pavel Oimeke a message alerting him of an Illegal LPG Filling plant next to Ongata Academy but the CEO never followed up the matter.
The plant was opened in 2017and residents that cnyakundi.com spoke to have complained that they can usually smell gas fumes. At the time Oimeke was alerted, he promised to shut down the plant but it looks like he received a bribe to allow its illegal activities to proceed.
The Illegal plant is located along Magadi road before Delta Petrol station opposite Laiser Hill Academy.
The strange things is that the Illegal LPG plant is next to a chief’s office confirming our fears that these criminals work with law enforcement officers.
Before doing this article, we sent a message to EPRA CEO Pavel Oimeke but he never responded
Hi sir, this is Cyprian Nyakundi. We have received a complaint from a Kenyan that they had alerted you about an illegal LPG station in Rongai but you later confirmed that it is legal. My team surveyed the area secretly in relation to our campaign pertaining to illegal filling stations and the level of secrecy around the area gave us doubts. We are doing a story pertaining your failure to act when alerted about these illegalities I have a few questions
Is the LPG filling station licensed
As EPRA boss, are you aware that people around the area have been complaining?
After receiving the complaint from a Kenyan, did you go to the area to confirm?
Can our team see the license or any confirmation that will prove that it is licensed?
Thanks
For a long time, we have revealed how Illegal gas plants are being licenced after dropping bribes with Oimeke and urged DPP to move in and investigate licencing at the Commission if anyone cares about public welfare
The same is the result of rampant fuel fixation with kerosene that kills engines.
Oimeke is arrogant and keeps bragging that he knows people and nothing can happen to him.
It is said that bribes are dropped at EPRA ( Formerly ERC) at will for him to facilitate corrupt deals.
The same issue is happening with the IPPS ( That ill cover later)
